What’s on Friday

8 P.M. (Bravo) STYLED TO ROCK Twelve burgeoning designers compete to become the newest member of Rihanna’s team as they undertake weekly challenges to imagine looks for celebrity guests. The music producer Pharrell Williams, the model Erin Wasson and Mel Ottenberg, Rihanna’s stylist (above left with Ms. Wasson, center, and Rihanna) serve as the mentors. But only half the contestants will be selected to display their designs for the client. In addition to a job with Rihanna, the winner will be awarded $100,000 and a fashion feature in Glamour magazine.

10:30 A.M. (CUNY) INVITATION TO WORLD LITERATURE David Damrosch, a professor of comparative literature at Harvard, introduces Popol Vuh, the Mayan creation story, with speakers including the composer Carlos Rafael Rivera, the humorist Mo Rocca, the artist Matthew Ritchie and the archaeologist Michael D. Coe.

1:05 P.M. (Flix) SYLVIA (2003) Gwyneth Paltrow, below, portrays the poet Sylvia Plath, who was 30 when she committed suicide in 1963, in this biopic directed by Christine Jeffs. Daniel Craig is her husband, Ted Hughes, who became the poet laureate of Britain in 1984. Some of Plath’s admirers treated Hughes as her symbolic murderer; others preferred to see him as someone who suffered himself, a talented man married to an emotionally disturbed woman. “Although partisans on both sides may disagree,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times, the movie “tries to address the Plath-Hughes marriage evenhandedly and resists the urge to turn its heroine’s life into allegory.” He added: “Ms. Jeffs’s understanding of Plath, like Ms. Paltrow’s, is deep and sincere, and ultimately more intuitive than analytical. ‘Sylvia,’ rather than trying to explain Plath, wants to burrow into her personality without disturbing its mysteries.”

8 P.M. (CBS) UNDERCOVER BOSS Amit Y. Kleinberger — the chief executive of Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, and the youngest boss featured on the show so far — delivers a calf while working as a herdsman at a dairy farm before donning a Menchie’s mascot uniform at a child’s birthday party.

8 P.M. (Hallmark) THE HUNTERS (2013) Carter and Jordyn Flynn (Dan Payne and Michelle Forbes) aren’t your everyday parents — raiding museums and evading the authorities in their jobs as Hunters, protectors of powerful fairy-tale artifacts. When they disappear after being intercepted on one of their missions, their previously oblivious sons, Paxton (Robbie Amell) and Tripp (Keenan Tracey), learn the truth about their parents from their assistant, Dylan (Alexa Vega). But when Paxton and Tripp turn to a family friend (Victor Garber) for help, they discover that he is after what the Flynns were trying to protect: an enchanted mirror with the ability to grant any wish that played a pivotal role in the destiny of Snow White.
